Do you follow a program?
Nothing formal. Pull, pull, legs and a rest day. I stick to fundamental exercises like bench press, chin ups, squats, leg presses, cable rows, lat pull downs, preacher curls, lat raises and Arnold presses.
I start off with about half my normal weight and comfort 20 to 25 reps as a warm up for most exercises. I aim for 8 to 12 reps, of the same weight for 3 sets of the same number of reps in each set.
I use the free version of an app called, "Strong". It lets you keep three different active workout routines, which is just enough for pull,push,legs. It makes it easy to keep track of progressive overload. Personally, I aim for 1 more rep each day until I get to 12+ reps. Then add more weight. Rinse and repeat.
For it not being a real program that's actually pretty decent.
